London neighbourhood guide: Where to eat in Covent Garden

There's something for everyone in the vibrant, full-of-life area of Covent Garden. From vintage markets, to historical monuments, to multiple theatres,  this must-see destination in London's West End is buzzing no matter what day of week or time of year. 

The best part about Covent Garden you ask? The abundance of food choices, of course. That's where we come in: We've rounded up our top picks on where to eat in Covent Garden for every occasion. 

For a group meal: Homeslice

Homeslice is not your average pizza place. Infamous in London for its supersized 20-inch pizzas and unusual toppings, it's the perfect place to enjoy great food with great company. With toppings ranging from barbecued beef brisket to cauliflower shawarma, you know you're in for a fun meal.

So if you're big on pizza, pizzas don't get much bigger than this. Gather the troops, head to Homeslice and tuck into some supersized slices. Be sure to try their Covent Garden special with Naples-imported burrata, Serrano ham, heirloom tomatoes and english asparagus - Trust us, this one is not to be missed.

The best part? You can even get these badboys delivered straight to your workplace with Just Eat for Business to share with the whole team. 

For a mid-week dinner: The Real Greek

The Real Greek does exactly what is says: serves real, authentic Greek food in the heart of Covent Garden. Inspired by the healthy and flavourful diet of the Eastern Mediterranean, the menu features a variety of cold, grilled and hot mezze plates perfect for sharing. Think grilled octopus, prawn saganaki, halloumi fries and a list of dips so big you'll struggle to pick just one. Or if you're not in the mood to make any decisions, just pick one of the set menus and let The Real Greek do the work for you - you're guaranteed to be well fed for less than £20 per person.

So the next time you're in the neighbourhood, pay The Real Greek a visit to enjoy some authentic Greek food that'll make you feel like you've just been transported to the island of Crete.
